Forbes: 5 Clean Tech Innovations of the Future
February 2018 "Landfills and dumpsites, infamously known as “garbage mountains,” have mushroomed across Lebanon since the 1990s. The mess peaked in 2014-15 when the capital’s main landfill shut down, after running well beyond its expiry date, and architecture graduate Nizar Haddad found the perfect reason to build his first energy-neutral dwelling in Baskinta. The twist? He’s built it from waste -- tires, cans, bottles." |
UNDP in Palestinian Gatherings – Quarterly Brief issue 19
February 2020 "By end of 2019, UNDP has completed the design and building of the community center – constituting the first phase of this initiative. The design of the space reintroduces long forgotten vernacular building techniques: using building material that is locally procured natural, recycled and unprocessed; using tires and wood for main structures; and relying on clay for plastering and lime for painting. "The design of the Kharayeb center is a statement to rethink the construction industry, by producing low cost, energy neutral, passive and self-sufficient dwelling." - Nizar Haddad, Lead Architect" |
Inhabitat: Amazing low-cost, off-grid Lifehaus homes are made from recycled materials
July 2017 "This amazing home by Lifehaus blends low-cost off-grid appeal with with holistic living and luxurious details.

The dwellings don’t simply offer a sustainable option, but address many societal issues in Lebanon, such as the trash crisis that brought Beirut to its knees last year." |
La Lifehaus, une maison écolo qui pourrait révolutionner la façon de bâtir au Liban
November 2022 "...une maison entièrement écologique, nichée sur les hauteurs de Baskinta (Metn). Avec ses pierres apparentes et son toit végétalisé, elle a été érigée par un architecte de 37 ans, Nizar Haddad, passionné d’écologie, qui cherche des réponses aux crises énergétiques et hydriques, actuelles et futures, par des techniques de construction révolutionnaires. L’architecte, qui devrait déménager dans la maison dans quelques semaines, a pris le soin d’utiliser des matériaux qui réduisent l’empreinte carbone, et de rendre l’habitation totalement autosuffisante des points de vue énergétique et d’approvisionnement en eau. Et pour ne rien gâcher, cette maison est esthétique et agréable à vivre, baignée de lumière. La construction de ce prototype a pris plusieurs années car il a été réalisé essentiellement à la main, mais il pourrait bien être dupliqué à l’avenir." |

Dubai Eye Radio Interview
January 2018 "The road toward more sustainable buildings begins with the design and the material used. You can't just construct a glass building in the UAE, for example - one that creates a greenhouse effect - and then rely on high energy technology to cool it. This is extremely unsustainable and counterproductive. The design itself must first be the priority in sustainable architecture; high energy technology and our reliance on it should come last." - Lifehaus founder and architect Nizar Haddad, DubaiEye interview, World Future Energy Summit (WFES), Adnec, Abu Dhabi. |
